When iron mixes with oxygen, it causes iron oxide, commonly known as rust. Therefore it causes the rock to "rust".
When Hydrogen mixes with Oxygen it forms water!!
Oxygen.
Physical Weathering
what mixes with it is sp3rm
The minerals within a rock that contain iron, such as iron oxides or sulfides, are the parts that can undergo rusting when exposed to oxygen and water. This process results in the formation of rust or iron oxide on the surface of the rock.
it forms iron oxide, and it can/should form rust
Photosynthesis. Oxygen molecules are released as a by product of photosynthesis, which causes iron to rust. The rust on rocks also proves we had an abundance of oxygen 2.5 billion years ago, which was caused by cyanobacteria ( and others as well maybe ).
Yes. A rock called 'banded iron' is the main ore of iron.
iron oxides in rock
Oxidation of iron in any rock is a very rapid process resulting from exposure of the pure iron within the rock to free oxygen. The red iron oxide that we see in sedimentary rocks today was formed millions of years ago during oxygenation events.
iron combines with oxygen in the presence of water in a process called oxidation. the product of oxidation is rust. rock that contains iron also oxidizes, or rust. rust makes rock soft and crumbly and gives it a red or brown color.
Rust, the brownish red powder on iron, is formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture. The reactants are oxygen and iron the products are oxidation, carbon dioxide and water
